5/5 rDev +8%vibe: 5 | quality: 5 | service: 5 | selection: 5

I am giving Hop City fives across the board. We drove up on September 2 from Alabama looking for stuff I can't find locally. Upon entering we were greeted warmly by the staff and after allowing us to get comfortable in the store, offered assistance. We were helped by a very friendly outgoing gentleman who was quite knowledgeable. After asking a few questions as to my preferences, he made suggestions for some brands that I might enjoy. Since I am really more of a sample it and move on kind of guy, I was mainly interested in buying singles. He made a bunch of recommendations from the singles section, then busted up a few six packs so I could get a few that were not presently on the singles shelf. He spent about thirty minutes with us and was absolutely a delight to talk with. I wish I had gotten his name because I would certainly give him some props here.

The selection is pretty massive and a bit overwhelming. So many beers and only one liver <ha ha>. The prices were better than I expected and if I could give customer service a higher score than five I would. Highly recommended.

Best of all this is a nice upscale store run by a young knowledgeable staff who is enthusiastic and helpful. Some beverages stores just seem to be staffed by weasel-faced humorless old men who are not pleasant in the least. Not Hop City. <subliminal message> GO THERE. BUY LOTS OF BEER FROM THEM </subliminal message>

holy beer mecca awesome awesome awesome best staff around dude in charge is so sweet and totally down to show you something you've never had no ego just plain beer nerd love from one to another the score says it all

Stopped in while in town and found some nice barrel aged beers I haven't seen down in Florida like Ride the Lion, BA Narwhal, London Balling, and Brooklyn Hand & Seal. Also had plenty of Tilquin Gueuze and Quetsche, among many locals and other great brews. Staff was extremely friendly and helpful, and a big growler station as well. Looked like some brewing supplies next to the growler station, and a nice big selection of wine, too. I can see why this place is highly rated. Definitely recommended for a stop-in.

I gave it 4.5 only because I frequent the Birmingham, AL location. That store is bigger and you can get full pours from any of the 60 beers on tap. Last time I was here, state law prohibits drinking on the property but they are working on changing that.
